Ree Rondeau
★★★★★2 months agoWent to the park to get pictures of birds native to Japan and saw there was an aquarium here. We made the decision to check it out and we were blown away by the variety of fish and birds in this small space. It was beautiful and amazing and well worth the price they were asking.
Anthony Napolitano
★★★★★5 months agoOne of the best aquariums I've ever been too , 700 yen for an adult ticket is insane. Easy access from Tokyo station. Great for the kids. The penguin area is a highlight it's outside and they seem to love it.
